She who wears Bells on her Cheeks

She who wears Bells on her Cheeks, Mark Vallen, 1993, Chalk Pastel on paper. I like this drawing because only chalk pastels are used and I was very surprised because of the way the colors were so vibrant. It is hard to see here but if you click on the full size image above, her dress is so life-like. I was really impressed to read that this drawing was completed using nothing more than chalk pastels, from looking at the picture you wouldn't think that. I am also amazed at the detail he included by using a sharpen piece of chalk.
